Episode 355 - Succumb to Moe

On this episode of Bakacast, we all slowly realize that our favorite show of the season is a cute-girls-doing-cute-things show. Aaron and I, especially, attempt to puzzle out how that happened, and whether we've secretly been replaced by pop people (aka Random Curiosity commentators).

Episode 354 - Card Catchup Emily

It's time for the first Bakacast of the Winter 2018 season! We start out our reviews with the new series of Card Captor Sakura, and I've brought in my fellow Audio Entropy podcaster, Emily, to help us out. We then give our first impressions on a bunch of the shows that aired during the first two weeks, which end up mostly being a mix of pleasant surprises and shocking disappointments.

Episode 349 - Shine Bright Like a Diamond

On this episode of Bakacast, we make up for the shows we've dropped by adding a couple more to the list.

    Episode 348 - Skulls for the Skull Car

    On this episode of Bakacast, we start off with a listener question that tasks us with deciding Netflix's anime production plans that prompts us to dig deep for both obvious and obscure choices. We also add Inuyashiki to our watch list, a show that has two very strong intro episodes but still gives us a little pause due to, you know, it being written by Hiroya Oku, the dude who also made the infamous Gantz. Meanwhile, Garo impresses, Whales disappoint, and Kino's Journey sparks a discussion about the value of different adaptation styles.

    On this episode of Bakacast, we discuss The Reflection's bizarre ending, how even a badass blonde vampire can't save UQ Holder, what Blood Blockade's directorial change means for its new season, and some strong opening episodes from Garo, Kino and Magus' Bride.
